Hi! We’re visiting the Big Island Aug 21–26 and looking for good local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. — places locals actually love 😊

We’ll be staying:
•Near Honl Beach/Kona Village in Kona Aug 21–23
• In Hakalau near Honomū Aug 23–26

Already planning on Volcanoes National Park, Akaka Falls, manta ray snorkel, Kealakekua Bay, Mauna Kea, and the black sand beach.

Would love any favorite food spots or must-do recommendations on either side of the island.

Hello! My fiancé is going to NOLA in a month with 7 guys for his bachelor trip. Does anyone have an itinerary they have used? I’ve never been to NOLA but they for sure want 2 things:

1. Upscale Cajun Food - not the most expensive
2. Cocktail Lounge

I’d also just like to hear about if a group of guys have ever done a swamp tour or a brewery crawl? I want them to have at least one organized activity that isn’t Bourbon Street or the casino LOL
